We’re going to look at the best ones and if you think they could help improve your life and your finances you should definitely check them out before you go any deeper into debt.

EasyMoney

The worst thing about this app is definitely the name because if someone was trying to scam you theywould mention easy money. Luckily once you open it up you’ll be pleasantly surprised. It will allow you to track everything, so it means you won’t have to sit at the table with hundreds of receipts when you’re sorting things out. It will even take your monthly expenses and run reports on them before helping you come up with a budget. There is a free version of this app, so you should definitely try it out.

Mint.com

Mint is a huge company, so it’s no surprise that their app is great. It’s a one-stop-shop where you can manage all of your accounts. Plug them into the app along with your loans and investments where you will be able to keep track of them at the same time. You can even add your transactions manually if you pay with cash, so you won’t be able to lose track of anything. The only downside is the fact you’ll be pushed onto the website for certain things, but I’m sure you can live with that.

Once you’ve set everything up you’ll be able to pay any bills through your phone which could completely change your life. Another positive thing is the attractiveness of this app because anything to do with finance is usually very boring. There are still a few more extra features which include tracking your income and expenses.

You can use this app to help you manage your finances, but it’s also very good for helping you look after multiple loans. All you need to add are the exact details of each loan including the interest rates, installment dates, etc. It’s also a great one to take abroad with you because currency conversions can be a pain. You will be able to track your transactions abroad without any difficulty. Don’t forget to download it before your next trip.
